Secondly, it explores the use of education for development in the Gambia and Ghana. This is significant because both countries share a similar political history and education systems. The purpose of the review is to analyze the similarities and differences between the Gambia’s and Ghana’s educational systems with respect to language and education as a roadmap to socio-economic development. The study’s conceptual framework is House (2004) GLOBE dimensions of culture, which was used to analyze these countries language and education for development policies. On its data collection, the inquiry uses secondary data and policy documents. The findings show that Ghana is more assertive than the Gambia in its policies on language in early childhood education and education for national development. Furthermore, Ghana’s policymakers are more willing to roll out policies geared towards language and education for development. Consequently, the study enables policy borrowing since it identifies and offers recommendations for language policies and education for development in both countries. Keywords: language, language policy, comparative education, language and development Introduction The Gambia and Ghana are both former British colonies and gain their independence in 1965 and 1957, respectively. Both countries inherited the British educational system and are members of the West African Examination Council. Additionally, both countries use the English language as the official language as well as the language of instruction in their educational system. The objective of the review is to identify each of these countries’ strengths and weaknesses in their educational systems with a view of learning the best practices for adaptation wherever deem fit in any of these countries. The paper starts with a brief overview of the profiles of The Gambia and Ghana, then discusses the conceptual framework and methodology, presents the findings and 1 Corresponding Author: Ousainou Sarr Ohio University Email: [email protected] 67 Copyright © Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education (JCSIE) Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education Volume 2, Number 1, December 2020_________________________________________ critically analyzes both countries’ education systems with respect to language and education for development policies. According to The Gambia Country Watch (2018), the country’s population in 2017 was 2,091,000 inhabitants with a projected annual growth rate of 2.77%. On the country’s economic indicators or outlook, The Gambia is typically considered as a developing country with an annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 3.31% in 2017 coupled with an inflation and unemployment rates of 8.02% and 6.84% respectively in 2016. In a similar pattern in 2016, The Gambia Gross Domestic Product (US $Billions) was 0.886000 while it suffered a Trade balance to GDP (US$ Billion) which was -8.010062. Because of these economic performances in The Gambia, the country was ranked 151 out of 155 countries using the Human Development Index of 2018. Comparatively, according to Ghana Country Watch Report (2018), the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate as of 2016 was 4.98%, which is higher than The Gambia’s rate within the same year under consideration. In 2016, Ghana’s annual inflation rate was 14.23%, which conversely was higher than The Gambia rate, implying that the cost of living is much higher in Ghana when compared to The Gambia. However, the Ghana unemployment rate was 5.4%, which manifests that Ghana is doing fairly well in availing its citizens employment opportunities in its public and private economic sectors when compared to The Gambia. Ghana’s GDP for 2017 stood at 58.92 billion USD. Thus, Ghana’s size of its GDP showcases the huge size of its economic activities whereas in The Gambia net GDP was under a billion US Dollars. Ghana registered a net surplus on its trade balance surplus indicator in 2017, which was 0.9 Billion US Dollars whereas in The Gambia, it registered a trade surplus deficit in 2016, which to a great extent could be attributed to the country’s political crises when the former dictator Yahya Jammeh refused to accept the election results that he lost. Lastly, Ghana was ranked higher in the Human Development Index than The Gambia in 2017 as it was ranked 140 out of 155 countries globally. Overall, both countries’ economies show great room for improvement especially in the area of inflation, which are significantly high, thus warranting the need for serious fiscal measures and sound economic policies to redress the trend. Without such measures, the average citizen’s quality of life for citizens of Ghana and The Gambia will decrease as a result of rising cost of living, which could be detrimental for the long-term peace and stability of these countries as it could ignite agitation and political unrest. Similarly, both countries should initiate sound policies so that their productive base can be improved. These measures will revamp the economy for growth in all its sectors, which ultimately will increase the growth rate of the countries’ GDPs. Ghana is remarkably doing well with respect to trade surplus indicators. Therefore, the country needs to solidify its gains in its export and external market penetration. The Gambia is netting a deficit, which signifies that the country needs to improve its production of goods and services as well embark on a massive export initiative so that it can improve its trade surplus for the years ahead. The purpose of this comparative paper is to analyze the similarities and differences between The Gambia’s and Ghana’s educational systems with respect to language 68 Copyright © Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education (JCSIE) Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education Volume 2, Number 1, December 2020_________________________________________ and education as a roadmap to socio-economic development. Thus, the study’s research question is what are the language and education for development policies of The Gambia and Ghana? Conceptual Framework For this inquiry, I will use House’s (2004) globe dimensions of national cultures as a conceptual framework to analyze the language and education for development similarities and differences between Ghana and The Gambia. The House (2004) framework is suitable for the study because three of its characteristics appears to holistically address the themes that emerges in the review. According to House (2004), the framework has the following nine axioms or dimensions: power distance, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, uncertainty avoidance, institutional collectivism, assertiveness, performance orientation, humane orientation, and future orientation. Holistically, the nine scope of House (2004) are explained as follows. Firstly, power distance assesses the degree of equal or unequal distribution of power between the elites or the masses of a society. This dimension is important because it demonstrates the manifestation of power and the way power is wielded in a society. The second axiom of the framework is about in-group collectivism. By this analogy, the author assesses the extent of selfhood or group association of members of a society. This segment of the frameworK is relevant in contemporary times where some people believe in individual or capitalist ideology or group or social orientation to the order of business. Thus, the framework can be used as a yardstick to measure how a society is organized with respect to individual or group sense of belonging. The third axiom of the conceptual framework is gender egalitarianism. This refers to the appeal of material success or concerns for others. Therefore, the conceptual framework evaluates the degree to which a society cares for material success or concerns for others as values and virtues of a society. The fourth aspect of the framework is uncertainty avoidance. This segment of the framework measures the extent to which a society affirms formal or informal order of business or in their daily life styles. According to House (2004), the fifth section of the framework is about institutional collectivism. This segment of the framework examines the dichotomies of individual goal or societal driven. Similarly, as discussed under axiom two, this can be linked to capitalism or social ideology shaping how societies operate. The sixth axiom of the conceptual framework deals with the extent of assertiveness in the choices and decisions people make in a society. Therefore, two yardsticks are being considered in a society, whether people are assertive or submissive in their dealings and all walks of life. The seventh axiom relates to performance orientation. Essentially, this indicator test whether a society is adaptive to rewarding for meeting goals or otherwise. Therefore, the axiom is useful to gauge why people in a society care about meeting goals or not. The eight aspect of the conceptual framework is human orientation and that is being sensitive to others. This aspect of the framework is important since it concerns the urge and willingness to work as a team for collective success of all or collaborate, thereby enabling every team player to succeed and vice versa. The nine or the last aspect of the 69 Copyright © Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education (JCSIE) Journal of Comparative Studies and International Education Volume 2, Number 1, December 2020_________________________________________ framework’s axiom is about future orientation. This is regarding being cognizant of long-term or short-term vision related to all people’s activity in a society. This deals with beliefs, attitudes, and expectations. Some may invest and are patient for long term benefits, whereas other do not care about the future.

  • Primary and Secondary Education in Senegal and the Gambia by Bowden Quinn
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS BSQ-12 August 12, 1980 Primary and Secondary Education in Senegal and The Gambia by Bowden Quinn A five-month study of primary and secondary schools in Senegal and The Gambia showed that these .West African nations have failed to correct flaws in the educational systems they inherited from their colonial rulers. The retention of Western-style school systems has led to a continuation of educational problems that were identified at the beginnin of this centux-y. A new approach to schooling is meeded but there is me indication that either of these countries is about to embark on such a course. The problem, in broad terms, is %at sckoels de me@ help %e majority of %he youth in %hose countries to prepare for a role in adult society, This is not only because most chil- dren in these countries do not attend school, Formal educa- tion is irrelevant to the lives of most of the young people who participate in it, Worse, the influence of the schools is detrimental to the lives of many of them. The problem is more acute in rural areas where the maorlty of the populations of these countries liveo Schools raise the expectations of rural youths so they turn away from their traditional adult roles as farmers to seek employment in the wage economy. The resulting migration of young people from the rural areas to the cities is harmful for the coun- tries in two ways. There are not enough obs for these youngsters, causin urban unemploymont crime and political instability.

  • Medersas and Girls' Education in West
    Medersas and Girls’ Education in West and West Central Africa: The Gender Consequences of Non-State, Faith-Based Service Provision Michele Angrist Department of Political Science Union College *October 2017* DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE 1 Introduction In Muslim-majority West and West Central Africa over the past several decades, private faith-based primary schools called medersas increasingly have provided communities with an alternative to state-run public schools. Medersas offer students instruction about Islam and in the Arabic language together with modern subjects such as science, math, and social studies. In this they differ from public schools, which tend to be secular and offer instruction largely in English or French. Against the backdrop of the political science literature on the provision of social services by non-state actors, for ten Muslim-majority countries in West and West Central Africa, this study documents the reach of the medersa phenomenon at the primary level and assesses the impact of medersas on girls’ access to basic education. The study is important because, when it comes to girls’ education, the stakes do not get higher than in this region. According to World Bank figures, globally, female adult literacy figures are lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa1. If one ranks female literacy rates in African states from high to low, of 54 states, West and West Central African countries cluster at the bottom. Specifically, the fourteen continental member states of the West African regional body ECOWAS, together with Chad and the Central African Republic, constitute 16 of the 20 lowest female adult literacy rates on the continent.
